Stabilization and Dynamic of Premixed Swirling Flames

Paul Palies is Principal Scientist at CFD Research Corporation in Huntsville, Alabama. He is a dedicated aeronautical research scientist and a specialist in propulsion including all aspects of combustion dynamics. He graduated from Ecole Centrale Paris in aerospace and from University of Paris XI in mechanics-physics. He holds a doctorate in combustion from Ecole Centrale Paris. He previously was a senior research scientist at the research center of United Technologies Corporation and worked with Pratt and Whitney’s main combustor team. He has a demonstrated experience in acoustics, combustion and fluid dynamics and is an expert in combustion dynamics applied to laboratory scale combustor and jet engines. He is the reviewer of several international conferences and journals, a full member of the AIAA Propellant and Combustion Technical Committee and the USNC/TAM AIAA Professional Society Representative.
